Corey died protecting his wife and children, who had to witness his horrific death. Thank you to Dr. Sweetland, who endures so much trauma to help others.

“Brother, are you ok?”. Those words are what we need. We need to take care of each other, regardless of race, religion, political beliefs, background. My heart and prayers are with Dr. Sweetland, the innocent man who lost his life so senselessly, his grieving family, all who are suffering and traumatized. STOP THE EVIL AND START PRAYING. 🙏🏻🇺🇸

This Dr. is so sincere and he is deeply affected. I hope he takes some time off. He really embodies his last name, Dr. Sweetland.

There seems to be so much toxicity and hatred in America that it’s so comforting to hear kind words from good people

[PickleAllergy]

Thisis the BEST coverage of this event, no partisan stuff, no blaming, nothing. Just an honest man sharing. Awesome job by the newscaster as well, respectful and did push for more and more. Round of applause to you.

[geinikankan]

What a human doctor. Such empathy spoken so eloquently.

[lilyfromafar]

Thank you for letting the Dr speak and not making this into a political attack against a person that was at a trump rally . Keep it professional and less hateful.
Rip to the person that passed away 🇺🇸

[BackyardBandit]

Rendering aid and simply asking if one is okay to a complete stranger in a time of need is two of the most selfless acts and reminds me of what Americans are truly about when we put our differences aside. God Bless Dr. Sweetland and the Veteran in which he spoke of.

[SherryBittermann-hfok]

Dr Sweetland's humble, gracious recognition of ems, first responders and the army veteran as well as his kind bedside manner towards the victim's family is a reflection of a great man!

I was telling my daughter that it had to have been a major shock for the ER doctor to be in shock after the shooting.💜
